Alphabet Task Force
See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Google#Alphabet Task Force StudiesWorld (talk) 21:19, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
Rename Google Inc. to Alphabet Inc.?
Why create a new article, according to Larry Page, Google Inc. is replaced by Alphabet Inc., all shares for GOOG will be changed to Alphabet, etc. Google Inc. ceases to exist, it's practically just a rebrand. "Alphabet Inc. will replace Google Inc. as the publicly-traded entity and all shares of Google will automatically convert into the same number of shares of Alphabet, with all of the same rights. Google will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alphabet. Our two classes of shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq as GOOGL and GOOG.", as written on abc.xyz. --YannickFran (talk) 21:29, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
- Google Inc. is not Alphabet Inc. Google is a subsidiary of Alphabet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by McoreD (talk • contribs) 08:39, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
- Because Google Inc. is still a company which is just a subsidiary of Alphabet and is still a historical company. StudiesWorld (talk) 21:31, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
- Agree. It's not 'practically just a rebrand'. JoshuaWalker | Talk 21:40, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
This is all a bit premature. If you actually read the SEC filing, technically Alphabet Inc. is a subsidiary of Google Inc. until the merger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.9.217.32 (talk) 21:48, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
Alphabet's company type?
Should it be noted that the Alphabet restructing hasnt fully finished yet, and is not yet publicly traded? But the header should still have the Traded as portion. Am I mistaken? Dxvin (talk) 03:50, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
Disputed
We're all getting ahead of ourselves. Alphabet is still a subsidiary of Google (rather than Google a subsidiary of Alphabet). The restructuring was just announced hours ago hasn't happened yet. This article is describing future events is past or present terms. Just because there was an announcement, doesn't mean it has happened. The stock swap GOOGL/GOOG stock swap hasn't even happened yet. Although, as we speak, Google is probably transferring assets into Alphabet to prepare for the stock swap, which should be considered current events. Tcrow777 Talk 06:00, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
- Talk about grasping at straws. And we wonder why we're not attracting new editors. JoshuaWalker | Talk 08:56, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
Nice work correcting the article, but I think the Process section has the definition of "merger all wrong. A merger is when two or more companies disband and fold their operations into one new company. This is a different kind of corporate restructuring that doesn't meet the definition of "merger."

- Well, the SEC filing uses the word "merger," so this is all very confusing. Tcrow777 Talk 09:56, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
